Silovs will start Game 7 on Monday vs. Edmonton.

Silovs had one of his worst starts of the 2024 playoffs in Game 6 as he allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) in a heartbreaking loss but will be given the chance for redemption as he takes the crease for Game 7 on Monday vs. Edmonton. The 23-year-old was thrust into the starting role after Thatcher Demko and Casey DeSmith both went down due to injury in the first round and has not looked back since, with his 5-4-0 record, .898 SV%, 2.89 GAA and 1 shutout in the playoffs. He will host the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, who are expected to be firing the puck a lot after leading the NHL in SOG per game in the regular season (33.8).

He will host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 5 on Thursday, who will be looking to keep the momentum going and break the series tie after winning Game 4 in the final moments.
